Field note 02

Planning a concrete patio

Start with what the patio is for. A grill and a couple of chairs need a lot less concrete than a dining table, a fire pit area or a hot tub. It helps to set chairs or a table out in the yard where you think the patio should go and see how much room you actually want. Text Lane a photo with that layout and he can work from there.

Think about where it meets the house. A patio that runs off a back door needs to sit at the right height so water drains away from the house and there's a comfortable step.

Field note 03

Patio finishes: broom, smooth or stamped

A broom finish is simple and gives good footing when the patio is wet. A smooth finish is easier to sweep but can be slicker. Stamped concrete adds a decorative pattern to the surface and is a popular way to dress up a patio. All three are poured the same way underneath; the finish is what changes.

Field note 04

Patio extensions

If you already have a small slab or stoop, a patio extension can make it usable. The new pour ties into the existing concrete, and a joint between them lets each slab move on its own so the old one doesn't crack the new one.

Field note 05

Joints, drainage and the long run

A patio gets saw-cut into panels just like a driveway, so shrinkage cracks follow the lines. It should also be pitched slightly so rain runs off instead of puddling against the house. Getting those two things right at the pour matters more over the years than anything done after.

Field note 06

Patio layout tips

Mark out the patio with a hose or stakes and set your furniture or grill on the spot before you text Lane. A photo of that mock-up shows size, shape and door connections faster than any sketch, and it helps catch a patio that would end up too small for the table you own.

Questions on the ticket

Frequently asked

Q1What finish is best for a patio?

It depends on the look and use. Broom gives the most traction, smooth is easier to sweep, and stamped is the most decorative. Mule Town Concrete pours all three.

Q2Can you add on to my existing patio?

Yes. Mule Town Concrete pours patio extensions that tie into the slab that's already there.

Q3Can a patio hold a hot tub?

Tell Lane when you text that a hot tub is going on it so the slab is planned for that load.

Q4How do I get a patio quote?
